I have a second boot light on the way, ready for the dual boot light installation.

Currently the highest bidder on an auction for some suspension turret carpets for the boot, this is something that I've wanted to do for about a year but I've never seen any for sale, I hope I get them

I must have some damp issues/water ingress somewhere, everyday when I come to the car in the afternoon the windscreen is dripping with water. Strange thing is I've had a big dehumidifier from the house in the car over night last week and it collected nothing - wasn't particularly cold that night either so I don't know why.

I'll have to do that to my car, poor escort hasn't got a boot light so can't see jack in there.

Escort (mk4) maybe others as well, use the same boot light as the mk3 fiesta.
I had to splice into the wiring for the light that was already there and run it across the boot, apart from that you wouldn't know it wasn't there from new
Your escort doesn't even have one boot light?

Its just from the short cycle of a short journey the water goes up as the oil warms and it never gets warm enough to evaporate, go on a longish journey every week or other week and it will stop, in the summer it won't happen anyway, look through the filler cap if the tops of the cams have the milky !Removed! and it's completely brown then you have a problem otherwise just keep on trucking.

Something I have wanted to do for ages... new dipped/main and sidelight bulbs.

As I don't really do much night driving and what I do is in town i.e. lots of street lights, I didn't think it was worth spending money of Osram Nightbreakers or anything.
So I got some cheapish xenon look h4 bulbs off eBay, very pleased with them, very white light and I'd say they are a bit better than the original bulbs.
Heres the link (but I guess most of you are on h7's or something) http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1497.l2649

Got 5 smd sidelightbulds which are also impressive, apparently canbus error free but obviously I can't comment on that

Right, this will be the last update on the mk3 for the foreseeable future. Likely to be pretty much off the road for the next few years anyway.

Finally got round to doing the mudflaps, now I know a lot don't like mudflaps, but I wanted them for their practical use as much as their, IMO, cosmetic enhancement. Hence why I got extra wide ones for an XR2i In one of the pictures you can see that I have also moved the tailpipe even further into the bumper, looks nice and discrete, but noticable at the same time.

Couple of months ago I got a set (5) of XR2i/ghia alloy wheels, these were an option on my LX (that wasn't ticked) so I don't mind putting them on. Unfortunately, due to other commitments (another fiesta) these will have to wait to be refurbed, but I've got them now and they will only go up in value

Also the Pioneer stereo has gone and has been replaced by an original for one, which actually sounds better, and it's a tape player, just shows that some of this modern stuff is hopeless. Especially when the Ford stereo is hooked up to my Rockford amp

So this is the end for now, over the past two years I have worked very hard to bring the car back to pretty much showroom condition (not that it really needed it) and with a few subtle modifications. And by garaging it now I hope I can keep it in such good condition. Looking forward to taking it to a few shows in a few years (just need a car trailer to take it there to preserve the mileage

It's home for the foreseeable future, with a cover over it as well - of course.
